With the new NH/Armaflex Smart, Armacell has solved the problems associated with halogen-free cellular rubber. Where previously the insulation was sensitive and easily cracked, installers now have a product that behaves more like normal cellular rubber.
In addition to the aforementioned new properties, Armacell has improved the environmental and application areas. In case of fire, no toxic smoke is produced. When the insulation does not contain halogens, toxic problems are ruled out.
Consequential damage from a fire can make costs higher than the actual fire damage. Therefore, halogen-free insulation materials are required in airports, hospitals, schools and other buildings where a fire can cause irreparable damage.
In the past, halogen-free rubber was difficult to handle and became brittle over time. Now there is a halogen-free product that still does not emit toxic gases, but is also flexible and resistant to ageing.

Uncompromising without halogens
With its halogen-free cellular rubber, Armacell has made an important step forward in technical insulation. NH/ArmaFlex Smart is based on a breakthrough technology and makes a real difference for both customers and installers.
Its flexibility and high UV and ageing resistance are unparalleled, ensuring condensation control and high energy efficiency that lasts for many years.
No more brittle cellular rubber
Previously, working with halogen-free cellular rubber insulation and its coarse cell structure led to higher adhesive consumption and longer venting times, unlike cellular rubber with microcells.
UV radiation made the surface of the old halogen-free insulation dry and brittle over time. This problem was equally relevant both indoors and outdoors and simply dried out the cellular rubber. Over time, the insulation became less flexible, could withstand less stress than originally and in the worst case could crack.
These stresses, combined with UV rays and a lack of flexibility, often led to small cracks eventually cracking completely.
NH/Armaflex Smart has better insulation performance
The new NH/Armaflex Smart is flexible, has high UV resistance and better insulation performance than alternative products. What's more, the product eliminates the traditional problems associated with installing cellular rubber, such as this: three pitfalls when installing halogen-free cellular rubber
